Bayern Munich, however, are heavily-favoured to secure progress through to the next stage of the competition. They are a very short 1/7 price tag while United can be backed at a 9/2 listing to wind up in the semi-finals – something that would likely secure David Moyes long-term future at the club.

The opportunity for Moyes couldn’t be more timely, and he will be counting on another massive performance from Wayne Rooney. The two have had a, shall we say, interesting relationship over the years, but it seems as though Moyes recent resurgence at Old Trafford has been on the back of the boy-wonder who emerged under his tutelage at Everton.
Expect the unexpected in this one and be sure to keep your eye on the price for Wayne Rooney to score at any time. He is trading at a hefty 3/1 price to grab a goal at any point in the match and he is 7/1 to score first and 9/1 to score last. Rooney trades at 14/1 for a brace and a massive 80/1 for what would be one of the most incredible hat tricks in Manchester United history.
The second match-up happening today looks to be poised on the head of a pin as well with Barcelona likely getting the edge because, well, they are Barcelona. Messi and the boys are available at a slim 6/5 to win the second leg while Atletico Madrid are available at a 23/10 listing that seems to show that the bookmakers aren’t really expecting them to do much in front of goal despite being at home in this one.
The outright qualification prices are 8/13 for Barcelona – which actually looks pretty good all things considered as this one really could go to extra time or penalties if Atletico manage to stay organized and keep Barcelona through-balls to a minimum. Atletico are priced at a 6/5 listing to be able to pull off progression through to the next stage of the competition.
Messi is odds-on to score at any point in the match and you can back him at 10/11 anytime and 4/1 to grab two or more. David Villa would love to score against his old club and he’s trading at a 2/1 price to do so at any point in this massive fixture.
